Moana Hope has been added to the Vics quad

COLLINGWOOD forward Moana Hope, teammate Sarah Darcy and Western Bulldogs ruck/defender Lauren Spark have been added to the Victorian team for the next week’s NAB AFL Women’s state of origin match.

The trio replaces Melbourne pair Lauren Pearce and Jasmine Grierson and Western Bulldogs defender Hannah Scott, who have withdrawn due to injury.
